Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 A few years ago I was faithful getting up at 5:00 am and doing yoga. Well I quite about 9 months ago and my body keeps asking me to start again. But I have this other strong fight going on inside me telling me I am not worth it. I also know I am doing a deep cleaning of my body, so I know how going back to yoga will help. Could I get some ideas and supporting encouragement?

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 I share a similar struggle and when I read your entry I was reminded that our power comes from within and the more I thought about that concept the stronger I feel .....a continuance of the process of being and being mindful of our present moments Peace Anne --- siri_devta_kaur wrote: > A few years ago I was faithful getting up at 5:00 am > and doing yoga. > Well I quite about 9 months ago and my body keeps > asking me to start > again.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 Hello Siri Devta Kaur, I just started yoga 2 weeks ago at 4:30AM myself! Not only is that incredible, but even more so is "my husband is doing it with me as well!" Now, IF HE CAN DO IT - ANYBODY CERTAINLY CAN!!" He really is anti-exercise!! He comments from time to time "how he feels at peace lately!!" Hmmm, I wonder if it could be the yoga honey?? Miracles do happen if we just beleive!! JUST DO IT!!! ;o} Sat Nam, Tammy siri_devta_kaur wrote: > A few years ago I was faithful getting up at 5:00 am and doing yoga. > Well I quite about 9 months ago and my body keeps asking me to start > again.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 hi, just think that you are in a much better position right now by doing what you have been doing( practicing yoga) than what you would have been in if you were busy decding whether to do it or not....so just get up and do it...i hope this helps! preeti --- siri_devta_kaur wrote: > A few years ago I was faithful getting up at 5:00 am > and doing yoga. > Well I quite about 9 months ago and my body keeps > asking me to start > again.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 thank you for your support Thomas. one more question, If I just start yoga just any time in the day will it be easer to mover it back to the morning than to just not do any at all.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 sounds like you're ready for the next step, whatever that might be. Self-depreciating thoughts feed on spirituality, I think. 'I'm not doing enough yoga', and other like thoughts are so quick to reveal their true message: 'I shouldn't even try'. These, like sleep and laziness, are just other desires, that's all. Every desire, in the end, is a desire for inertia. sat nam, -thomas - <siri_devta_kaur <Kundaliniyoga> Tuesday, October 02, 2001 7:26 PM getting motivated again > A few years ago I was faithful getting up at 5:00 am and doing yoga. > Well I quite about 9 months ago and my body keeps asking me to start > again.

But I have this other strong fight going on inside me telling > me I am not worth it. My brain throws up these thought patterns as well. Ignore. Just do it! It's just the ego having a fight to increase his importance. Debilitating because you start to believe it. This is not the real I. I read recently a moving account how a youngster who had killed someone in a fight had to come to terms with it and to forgive himself. This put in perspective for me. What if that person had just sat around saying "I am not worth it, I am a bad person etc." And there I am saying "I don't think I should meditate..."

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Hi, To my opinion Yoga asanas, kriyas and meditation, should be done continuously and consistently, whether we are in good or bad condition. It's not only a have to, but it's a must. The benefit and fruits will come by itself, for sure. Just do it.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 dear siri devta kaur i have been in a similar position my self, procrastinating about doing yoga. as tomas says this is a self depreciating loop since you know you should do something and feel guilty for not doing it. when you hear that quiet voice intuition, you must listen carefully. these days i try very hard not to spend too much time deliberating and rely much more on instinct. it serves me better. deep down we all know the right thing to do and conflict arrises when we begin to ask the wrong questions. there is indeed a big difference between thinking and doing but in reality they are two sides of the same coin. i recently started doing yoga again early each morning for one hour and i also do certain asanas, whenever i get the urge throughout the day, usually a simple forward or back bend, only a moment or two, but this serves as a constant reminder about what i am trying to achieve with my life. so if you feel you would like to stop for a moment and practice then do it. the analogy between spiritual practice and water filling a bowl, drip by drip, is fine. no effort is wasted, however small. but when the drips stop coming the water evaporates. the best way to overcome stagnation is to move, to act and to channel those actions in the right direction. you know the way. move towards it. strive to be happy. good luck and sat nam stephen.
